Flower Crab Spider Changes Color
Flower Crab Spiders live in different blooms here in Humboldt. This one can be found in the Calla Lily now but, when the lilies quit blooming, these chameleon spiders change color (usually to yellow) and lurk in other similar colored flowers. There they ambush their prey. When they pounce on and bite their prey, their venom paralyzes the other creature eventually liquefying the insides and allowing the Flower Crab spider to dine easily.

El camillion (phrinasoma, hornytoad)changes colors spectacularly when fed ants full of element complete plantplankton.due to emotions.or from a day soaking (absorbing) water.bright yellow on sides.those lizards are thought to be diabolical and very dangerous in mexico.and are protected by federal law.they also like ketamin.they should be left alone.
Misumena vatia. goldenrod crab spider or flower (crab) spider. The color change from white to yellow takes between 10 and 25 days, the reverse about six days.
Amazing!
They are everywhere. Very graceful creatures.
